Early on the history of the venerable Pine Valley Golf Course of Camden New Jersey rode a golfing legend of lore. A most experienced golfer from the isles of Scotland strolled out onto the greens, from the Pine Valley clubhouse and actually expected to mingle with North American buffalo on the greens. You might expect this up at the Narrows in Manitoba he was told, but not here at the Pines, well at least not today. So the golfing legend goes.
Yet there have been golfers among the mix who have remarked at the most challenging holes on this golfing course that perhaps they should take a photo of the hole rather than play it. This way at least they might have their memories, yet retain set of golf clubs and balls intact and in order. Never mind their poise and reputation on the golf links and fairways of their travels in the world of sport and recreation.
Yet this avid golfer stayed and played and even immigrated to America as a result. For many golfers its "Pine Valley" for others golfing heaven indeed its the Augusta National. Augusta National Golf Club, located which amazingly enough is located in the fine state of Georgia at "Augusta". This favorite of many a top high end golfer and golfing want-to-be was founded by none others than historical golf icon Bobby Jones along with Clifford Roberts. Golf club architect and layout was initiated and followed through by the legend Alister MacKenzie actually on the site of a former indigo plantation , whose grounds had not only been carefully maintained and built up over the years - yet also had the highest of reputations.
Pine Valley is a living monument to the Philadelphia citizen who conceived it and almost single handily started to build and construct it. To the say the least this course is no hobo-ken layout of a golf course laid out in the Manitoba bush called quaintly. It is a shrine to the very spirit of the golf game and the sport of golfing. The conditions of its fairways and greens have long been the very standard of comparison to other clubs and facilities throughout the nation and indeed worldwide. Indeed it is horticultural one of the most unusual areas of the whole eastern seaboard of the United States. On top of that membership in this most prestigious club is of course highly coveted and treasured. The club itself has been the source of much humor and dry humor at that in the golfing communities. It was repeatedly said by the very likes of the classic golfer Arnold Palmer that Pine Valley is not so tough if you can hit the ball straight, keep it out of the sand and putt reasonably well.
Pine Valley has generated more than one golfing tale of lore and even made a major contribution to golfing humor. One golfing newcomer having a most difficult if not challenging round remarked upon struggling onto the seventh hole of the fairway. Do you play the hole or make a golf television instructional program here?It can be said that you never forget your first love and you never forget the golf games played that you dreamed of or played out at Pine Valley Golf Club on the eastern seaboard of the United States of America.
